All programs will be led by ME Directors and our hand-selected Gold Medal Squared Certified Coaching Staff. 

We are excited to announce our partnership with Off The Bench Wellness, owned and operated by ME Coach, Hayley Garick, who is a certified Athletic Trainer and Injury Prevention Specialist. At every practice and training session, Hayley will lead our athletes through a series of exercises that will focus on injury prevention, strength, conditioning, balance, coordination and core stability. 

In addition, our ME Directors will incorporate training opportunities that focus on watching/evaluating game and practice film, team building activities, leadership training, mindfulness, and emotional maturity.
